Large pair German dresden porcelain pugs Carl Thieme

Fabulous pair of German Dresden porcelain seated pugs by the Carl Thieme Porcelain Manufactory of Potschappel,Germany. Using the finest hard paste porcelain, these pugs are known for their life-like molding and beautiful hand decoration. Notice the muscles of the legs and the finely molded hair all over the body. I particularly love the ears! They have the most exquisite hand painted faces with expressive detail. The male and female wear adorable pink collars with gilt bells. This style of Thieme pugs comes in two sizes--these are the larger more detailed pugs. Underglaze blue maker's mark on both pugs. The pugs measure approximately 8.5" tall by 8.5" wide by 5.5" deep with the female a tiny bit shorter than the male. They are in perfect condition.
